A dream of mine just came true. And the first place I wanted to go after I saw it was WSI. There are a lot of you that I grieved with after hard losses, a lot of you that I argued with about organizational changes, and now a lot of you I'm celebrating with.

How about our boys?

I'm 'one of those women' who doesn't understand the whole game, but have been enjoying the euphoria of it all. As I sat there in the final moments, hands shaking, tears welling up in my eyes, I can't even explain it. It's just incredible.

I'm thrilled to have had the chance to witness such an awesome historic moment.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!!!!

The first of many for the SOX. What a feeling this is. Being from Canada I was teased this year saying that I was just jumping on the band wagon. I said and how are your Jays doing this year. I've been a fan since I was four years old which was only 14 years ago, but I don't want to wait another 14. I have no idea what some of the older sox fans are going through I am happy for every fan, and every member, this is a year to remember, Thank you Jerry, Ozzie and Kenny.

People are doing everything from honking horns, shooting off fireworks, and yelling out of windows here near Midway Airport. Me and my wife woke our infant son up after the yelling we did after Uribe's last out.

We'll meet the team at the airport when they come back...rain or shine.

10-27-2005, 12:33 AM

The 2005 White Sox may not be the best statistical team ever. They weren't the most dominating team ever. But, I've got to tell ya ... in my 28 years of lifetime, a lifetime of playing baseball, watching baseball, coaching baseball and dreaming of baseball, I honestly think that the 2005 Chicago White Sox baseball team is the best team I have ever seen. They ARE baseball; what makes the game such a beautiful game ... what attracts us to follow a game for 162+ games per year. The 2005 Chicago White Sox define what I have learned as fundamental, sound baseball ... they way the game OUGHT TO BE PLAYED.

I sit here in Columbus, Indiana at a loss for words. No one to share it with, just my TV and this wonderful website. But you know what I look forward to most? I look forward to when I have a son, and my son sitting on my lap, and me telling him about the best baseball team I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. My favorite baseball team of all time: the 2005 Chicago White Sox.

I can't wait for that moment. My dad is Yankees fan, but he never told me about the Yankees; therefore, I became a White Sox fan. My family, from here on out, no matter where we live, is a WHITE SOX family, and one major reason is because of this team - the 2005 Chicago White Sox.

Wow! What an amazing ride. Back when I heard Scotty was traded to the White Sox I was so happy. It made it so much easier to follow him since he was in the same league and I also got more chances to actually see him play on TV. The White Sox play a brand of baseball that is fun and exciting to watch. While homeruns are hit, they are not what they live and die on. The play excellent defense, have an outstanding starting staff and and equally amazing bullpen to back them up. They focus on getting runners on, moving them over and getting them in. It's the way baseball was meant to be played.

Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of it. Thanks to the great people that keep this place up and running. I found it late in the season, but have enjoyed my time here.

What an amazing season. From day 1 of spring training I followed this team like never before. There was just a feeling inside me that this team was special. And they proved it all year long. Nothing is better than this.

Ozzie Guillen is mounting an extremely effective campaign to become President of Venezuela, and he in fact will eventually replace the dictator Chavez as President of Venezuela. This is one bold pre-season prediction.

The other: come, on, we all know!! It will be two in row. Go Sox!

Soxfest

10-27-2005, 01:14 AM

Congrats to Sox and fans, I have waited since my first game in 1975.:D:

SOX WIN, SOX WIN!!!! This was a total team effort all season long
from opening day on from Kenny Williams, who I wanted fired last
year, B-T-W, to Ozzie and all the way down to the late season call-ups, even though I had to wait until the second game of the season to really start watching this team, thanks very little
W-G-N for NOT televising opening day, but waiting until the second game of the season to begin the telecast schedule!!!!

I'm also elated for Jerry Reinsdorf, who for nearly 25 years has
tried to bring the Sox and we the fans that World Championship, and has finally done it. Sure, I've had my reasons to be angry at him, especially for the "White Flag" trade back in 1997, but he and the entire organization deserve this championship.

My only regret is that "The Big Hurt" Frank Thomas was unable to
play most of this season, including the post-season, because of his injury. He deserves to be a part of this championship because of all of the contributions he has made to the Sox since he came up in 1990 alone, ironically, that was the year I became a Sox fan, yes, because of their return to W-G-N, as well as all of the media generated hell he has had to endure for most of his career.

As for tonight's game, Freddy Garcia pitched his guts off and kept the Sox in the game. And how about Juan Uribe's diving catch in the bottom of the 9th!!!! I have been hard on him the past couple of games, but he indeed did step it up tonight. Yes, more kudos go out to World Series M-V-P Jermaine Dye, not only for getting the Series winning hit tonight, but for the contributions he has made both with the bat and in right field all season long.

Most of all, this championship is for all of us, the White Sox Army, who have waited, some for many, many years, for this moment, to say YOUR WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX, YESSSSSSS!!!!

even though I've only waited 18 years it feels like an eternity, I can only feel for the elders here, my dad who finally got to see one after 57 years of Soxdom and my grandpa who never got to see one but hopefully is somewhere looking down celebrating the victory!

NO TIME FOR NEGATIVE POSTS, KONERKO RE-SIGNING TALK ITS PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't really have the words to fully express what I feel right now.

This team is absolutely amazing. I loved watching them play the game, and I loved sharing every moment of it with all of you here.

How many days until spring training? :smile:

GO SOX!!!

I will never, ever complain again about crappy Chicago sports with its lack of victories and success. This eclipses anything I could have ever imagined.

Personally, this year was the hardest year of my life due to a severe illness, but watching the Sox play every day was often times the highlight of my day. Them winning it all, in this dominating fashion means so much to me. I will never forget how great this team was and how great it has been to watch them play!!!! WHITE SOX YESSSSSSSS

This is the kind of moment that makes all of the suffering seem worthwhile. From the Magglio gidp's, to the pop-ups in the 2000 playoffs, to the White Flag trade, to the '94 strike, to losing to Toronto in '93, to Lee Stevens in '90, to the worst record in baseball in '89, to the meltdown in '85, to Tito Landrum, to Disco Demolition...that's as far back as I go.

I'm a casual fan of the Bears and Bulls, but those championships seemed empty to me. The Sox have always been my team. It's an unbelievable moment when your team can win it all.

Congratulations to the 2005 World Series Champions, the Chicago White Sox!

This is the best feeling in the world. This is for all of my loved ones who are no longer with us. I will be visiting my fathers and grandfathers tombstones tomorrow and we will all be celebrating together. Unbelieveable!!!!

I'm so numb. I just can't believe it!!!!

What an INCREDIBLE season to witness.

I couldn't be more happy for our boys watching them all celebrate with eachother and their families.

This win pretty much represented the whole entire season. Amazing pitching. Amazing defense. And the most unlikely of heros doing just enough to win.
2005 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS: The Chicago White Sox!!!!!!!:supernana:

Wow, just wow. It's never going to sink in, I swear!

My mom said to me recently..."as long as you've existed...you've been a Sox fan" Just how much this team and in particular this season has meant to me really can't be measured. The bottom line is that after all the waiting and hoping, we can all say proudly that the Chicago White Sox are World Series champions! There isn't a dark cloud or media spin that changes that! I found this site during dark days and have spent far too much time obsessing over every White Sox move...whether it was in January or October :bandance:and I thank all of you as well for enhancing what it means for me to be a Sox fan!
Here's to the champs and continued success! Zivjeli!:gulp:

I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it -
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -.

I cannot believe it everything. Everything is just a dream, we are riding on. When we wake up in the morning we are the the champions, we are the beholders of our destiny. We have waited throug hgnereations, we have been born and breed. We have been raised Sox fans from the bottle an dnow that the final battle is over we have it all. Thank you my borhtern and sistern, of WSI thank you my great aunt, rest in peace, and thank you Chicago White Sox for making all our dreams become reality in a single moment in time.
